The Original Scream Queens - Barbara Steele & Barbara Shelley

The Variety Attic with Nick & Glenn

Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we pay tribute to two veterans of classic film horror from the 1950's through the 1970's - Barbara Steele & Barbara Shelley.

Long before Jamie Lee Curtis (of "Halloween" fame) hit the scene, two of cinema's original scream queens, Barbara Steele & Barbara Shelley left an indelible mark in film history - with their many portrayals of heroines and villainess' in classic horror movies for almost three decades.

We discuss their wonderful acting abilities and great on-screen presence, play clips, delve into their professional paths - and prove why many of their films became enduring classics of the horror genre.

If your fans of these actresses, or horror films in general, we think you'll enjoy this podcast - and will appreciate why these two icons were "the" original scream queens.
